One of the lawmakers who was critically injured in the November 13 explosion at Batasan Pambansa complex in Quezon City has recovered, and could likely attend the resumption of legislative sessions on January 21.

The Visayan Daily Star on Saturday reported that Negros Oriental Rep. Henry Pryde Teves was moved out of the intensive care unit of St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City on Tuesday.

Former congressman Herminio Teves, the grandfather of Henry, said the young solon was recuperating in a private room at the said hospital.

The elder Teves said his grandson had started to sit on his bed, and would soon be using a walker to move around.
